This 7-day, 6 nights safari offers an opportunity to explore the wildlife-rich and unspoiled wilderness areas of southern Tanzania’s southern circuit safari destination – Ruaha, Mikumi, and Nyerere. As well as brilliant wildlife variation, the value for money in a Nyerere, Mikumi, and Ruaha combination is fantastic.
Nyerere is an area of huge proportion and is covered in meandering waterways and deep lagoons that are teeming with wildlife. Crocodiles bask on the sandy banks whilst hippos jostle for the best position. Mikumi and Nyerere both share the same ecosystem. Ruaha national park is the size of Kruger in South Africa where the wildlife of Southern Africa and Eastern Africa come together.
